Spanish translation:director de ventas (al por menor)
Explanation:
En español, se distingue entre director comercial y de ventas.

El director de ventas se emplea más para la venta minorista/distribución al cliente final, así que no haría falta incluir el sintagma "al por menor".

También se están extendiendo términos como "director de ventas retail", o "director del área retail", que personalmente no recomiendo.
